Abstract

The author analyzes the question about man’s com-position of three parts, body, soul and spirit, based on the Scriptures as well as on the theology devel-oped afterwards and on the Magisterium. Through the explanation about how to understand correctly this way of viewing man, as well as the bipartite way, of man as only composed of body and soul, one can avoid confusions created by a wrong com-prehension of each one of these both views.
